    Who’s watching greatness in 2024 ❤❤
  • @josephisaac2060
    My mother and I were both night owls. We watched this show together until I left for college. One of my most precious memories.
  • As an “Old School Brother “ this collaboration puts me in a trance! I can’t play a lick of nothing but every time I hear something like this it takes me back to a time in my life where all of adults around me were encouraging me to be the absolute best at whatever I chose to become in life. Those folks just happened to be Jazz lovers whose theme music was always classics like this. I’m now a 75 year old dude who has always been average but will never give up the quest for greatness. This music doesn’t come without tears, heartache and failures but it perpetually brings encouragement, comfort and joy!

    Night Music was the best music show ever on TV. Back when musical tastes were alot more eclectic than today.

  • Just heard David Sanborn died. What a player. Saw him in Glasgow jazz International concert. When you look at all these guys . What memories.
  • @rudycampos7565
    Man this is the hottest ish I ever stayed up to watch back then in 1989 when I was 22 yo. Love it still today! RIP to David Sanborn and the great Miles Davis
  • @torsloke
    RIP. Thank you for sharing all this music with us. It meant so much for someone who had such limited access to these jazz legends to be introduced to them on your show.
  • @64tubebaby
    We had better simply accept that music will NEVER be this great again, and that we were privileged to be around in this era to hear, enjoy and appreciate it. Jazz in general - and Miles Davis's genius in particular - taught me how to live on a deeper, more spritual level that would have been possible without both. When something has the power to change your life, it is a sign that you have the ability to change. And change is growth.
  • Sore thoat for 33 years, that is dedication to the craft the Creator blessed us with through him. Awesome job Miles Davis.

    This show used to air in the NYC area very late, like 1:00 a.m. or later on Sunday night into Monday morning. I used to stay up to watch it even though I had to get up early for work the next day. There was no youtube and DVDs hadn't become a thing yet either, so when a gem of a show like this came around, serious music fans simply had to sacrifice the sleep and stay up to watch. It's unfortunate this show was set up to fail by not being given a prime time TV slot. Nobody watched because it came on too late, then the network suits canceled the show saying nobody watches it. It never had a chance.
  • Don’t know how Kenny Garrett would keep his shit together when Miles would give him that same intense stare he gave Coltrane, Cannonball, and Hancock. My god. So much respect for these musical gods.
  • The INFAMOUS "TU TU"...This Song Is And forever will Be an Epic Classic From Marcus Miller featuring The INFAMOUS Miles Davis...My Blessed Vietnam Vet Father Who Played The Hammond B3 Organ and Trumpet 🎺 used to play this song all The Time ....Everybody Just Blended sooo Exceptionally Well Together...Loved and Still Love This Blessed Performance From This Show & This Particular Era In Time...💜💯🎨🆒🌎✨🇺🇸☮️🙏.

    4:54 so sorry for that we have lost such a nice human being and one of the best musicians that has ever lived.❤
  • @amberpuga7322
    So fortunate to see both David Sanborn and Miles Davis play together in a concert at the old Caravan of Dreams in Downtown Fort Worth - Talk about a show for the ages.
  • @pearldiver7
    Thank you David and Miles for all the great music. So much appreciation for both these giants. As well as all the great players on this video. Gone but never forgotten. Miles - my pick for the most important musician in the last century, and without a doubt the coolest dude ever!
  • @MsCandy1967
    Miles Davis and David Sanborn - doesn’t get better than this. Loved this show back in the late 80’s / early 90’s.
  • Marcus Miller, one of the best bassists ever. When you have Miles Davis on your resume you’re somebody.
